It was obvious from the start that without Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap, this team had adapted a new style of offense that ran through Derrick Favors, who scored or assisted on each of the Jazz’s first 11 points.

Why is it running through their defensive specialist though?

“Clearly playing Millsap over Favors the last two years was the correct thing to do....or something,” tweeted @Tim_Ormond.

Yes but having Jefferson on the team was not.

“Derrick Favors managed to go 10 minutes of play before picking up his first foul. Vast improvement,” tweeted @TaxiSquadShow.

Let's hope he can keep it up.
